It’s Christmas

Charlotte — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 22:17:23 +0000

First off I want to wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas and I hope all your wishes get fulfilled.

Christmas is a sparse one here in the Muskett household. Maybe next year will be better. I’m already thinking of things to get everyone next year. If my uncle, who smoked cigars, was still alive I would get him a really nice cigar humidor to keep his cigars in.

I want to spoil my grandkids, for once, and get them exactly what they want.. no matter the cost. I would spoil myself and get myself a really nice computer. I murdered my last one trying to give it a good cleaning. I ended up bending the pins on the processor and couldn’t afford to buy a new one (they’re very expensive) and I couldn’t straighten the pins enough so it would work again.

Here’s hoping and praying that next year is a better year than this one has been.

Speaking of..

Charlotte — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 14:01:38 +0000

Speaking of cleaning…. In our office we have our own room in which to eat our lunch, throw parties, etc. Every will bring in little things that they bought and didn’t like or just have extra of and we have baskets of things “donated” by co-workers.

We have quite a Tea Collection going on in one basket. We have Earl Grey, mint, lemon and quite a few other kinds. We also have cookies that one girl brought in because her son doesn’t like them. We have little packets of stuff from Chinese takeout. If you need something to munch or drink… we probably have what you’re looking for!

Purging/Cleaning

I just put a poll up in my left sidebar. I want to know when you do your “seasonal” or “heavy duty” cleaning. You know, when you go through all the stuff you’ve collected for a long time and throw stuff out or get it together for yard sales or to give away.

A lot of people do “spring cleaning” but I do it whenever the urge strikes me. I don’t have a set schedule for this kind of thing.

What do you do? I’m looking forward to seeing your answers. Please vote in the poll and leave an comment on this post.

Weekend cleaning

Charlotte — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:42:27 +0000

I posted on my main blog that I did a lot of cleaning this past weekend. Some of the things I did was to go through some boxes and clean out some drawers. While doing that I came across some promotional products from another company I used to work for. I promptly threw them in the trash. There was a sticker, a can cozy and a few other things.

My place looks so nice and clean now. I scrubbed floors, counters and removed spots from my carpet. I did laundry, filed a bunch of papers and cleaned bathrooms. It always feels so good to get things accomplished!

Cleaning day

Charlotte — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 20:14:36 +0000

Today has been cleaning day. Hubby finally got our headboard and dresser out of storage and I’ve been putting our clothes into the dresser. 1st I cleaned the dresser off really well (I was covered in dust) and cleaned out the drawers.

All of the clothes had been stored in the closet on the shelves. Now I can use the shelves for other things such as extra cables, HDMI switches, important papers, fire boxes and whatnot. These are extra shelves not the ones that go on top of the hanging rods. These shelves are a unit type thing that one of the hanging rods hooks onto. there are 5 shelves with room below for plenty of shoes.

Exercise

The best way I found to exercise is my IPod Shuffle. I just crank it up and hop on my elliptical. I can do at least 25 minutes easily while listening to my music. After I get done I get busy cleaning and dancing around to the music. My IPod is like taking energy pills and there aren’t any bad side effects. The good side effects are energy, weight loss and a clean house!

I can crank up the music and not bother the neighbors or hubby. I used to blast music when I’d clean the house before anything like an IPod was around but I could only do that if hubby wasn’t home or he was out in the garage working on a car or his boat. Yesterday I danced around while vacuuming and that was after a 25 minute workout on the elliptical. It lifts my mood and makes me want to clean, clean, clean!

A Couple Reasons Why..

Charlotte — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 23:26:25 +0000

Here are a couple reasons why you should always use the plastic/rubber exam gloves that come in the boxes of hair dye.

A girl I worked with dyed her hair without using those gloves. She used black dye. Yep.. you guessed it.. she ended up with her hands stained with that dye and it took months for it to finally fade away.

Another dummy (me) never used the gloves when I dyed my hair (when I was much younger). The blond dye I used had peroxide in it and my fingertips always turned white from the peroxide. I use the gloves now without fail. It’s bad enough I forget to use gloves when I clean my kitchen. Lesson learned!

Always use gloves when dying your hair or using harsh cleaning products.
